Friday works: Watch drills from Mullikin, She Feels Pretty, more
In one of his final tuneups for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Nov. 1 at Del Mar, Mullikin breezed Friday at Keeneland immediately following the first track renovation at 7:30 a.m. EDT. With Antonio Mata in the saddle and working in company with Grade 2 winner World Record under Ares Campos, Mullikin worked five furlongs in 1:00.4.
“Exactly what we were looking for,” trainer Rodolphe Brisset said. Brisset trains Mullikin for WinStar Farm. “We just want to keep him fresh up to the race. Today was an easy five-eighths from the half (mile pole) and a good gallop out. The rider never moved, and he was traveling very well. (Mullikin) will work again either Friday or Saturday — just an easy half mile by himself.”

Five-time Grade 1 winner She Feels Pretty, considered the top American runner to challenge the European horses on Nov. 1 at Del Mar in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, continued her steady work pattern for the race by working a half-mile in 48.0 seconds Friday morning.
Working in company with Grade 3-winning stablemate Taking Candy, She Feels Pretty logged her fifth Friday half-mile breeze since winning the E.P. Taylor (G1) at Woodbine on Aug. 16.
“She has been working well, and I just need to keep her sound and happy,” trainer Cherie DeVaux said after the work.
She Feels Pretty, owned by Lael Stables, is scheduled to work again at Keeneland next Friday and then fly to Del Mar as part of a three-horse contingent for DeVaux, who collected her first Breeders’ Cup victory last year at Del Mar with More Than Looks in the Mile.
Her other runners are expected to be Rebel Red for the Breeders' Cup Turf and Vahva for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. Rebel Red worked a half-mile Friday on the main track in 48.8 seconds in company with stakes winner Northern Invader.
Vahva is scheduled to work Saturday at 7:30 a.m. EDT.
Owned by his breeder, John Gunther, and Eurowest Bloodstock Services, Rebel Red had his second work since finishing fifth in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1) on Sept. 27.
“I was pleased with him this morning,” DeVaux said of Rebel Red, whose best finish in graded stakes this year was a second in the Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer (G1) at Saratoga on Aug. 9. “He has run some really good races and that puts him right there (with possible Breeders’ Cup entrants). The Joe Hirsch was a weird race with only five horses.”
